Thomas Rae, Industrial Designer in Glasgow, United Kingdom

About

I am an energetic, highly motivated product developer with a passion for entrepreneurship.

I really enjoy working with other enthusiastic individuals. I love design and always excel in an environment where I have access to people of a similar mind set. I look at design as a service through problem solving.

I have completed my degree in Industrial Design with Honours and I am about to continue onto Strathclyde University to Study for an Msc in Advanced Manufacturing:Technology and Systems to which I have received a full scholarship.

In the long term I'm looking to develop enough skills within the design and business sector to begin my own business focusing on a clearly identified market gap.
